Description Lon Hohberger 2010-03-09 23:13:34 UTC 
Description of problem:

system-config-lvm calls e2resize instead of e4resize

Discussion of problem is in previous bug 444525

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444525#c7
Comment 1 Eric Sandeen 2010-03-10 15:24:00 UTC 
Note that at least e2fsck is the wrong call as well.

Note also that this only applies to rhel5 since we had to rename ext4 utilities, to co-exist with e2fsprogs.

Proposed patch

Patch is RHEL5 specific - no attempt for upstream inclusion
Comment 3 Brian Brock 2010-04-30 19:19:42 UTC 
should be simple to test with obvious failure cases.

Setting qa_ack
